Trying to decide if you should go to Momentum? Below is an account from one student who was glad he didn't stay home.

An Eternal, Internal Makeover
I was not expecting to be radically challenged and changed during Momentum 2007. I was encouraged each and every day to truly look inside my heart. The speakers, and Steve Fee were great! Helping build a house is an experience I'll never forget!!! A student from the Grace Brethren Church in Ashland, Ohio. Read other reports on the Momentum History Site.

OB Buses Depart For California June 4

Operation Barnabas students arrive on Friday, June 13th, with orientation beginning at 4 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.

Your prayers are appreciated—not just for safety in travel and on tour—but that God would work mightily in and through the lives of these 104 individuals!
